Closer view of Rosa 'Albertine'

One of the first Roses I ever planted, many years ago ;0)

I remember looking for a climber for this arbour a couple of years ago at a local nursery, so much choice, then I remember spotting this one and remembered Monty Don saying how he loved it and I have to agree its stunning even OH commented on it which he doesn't often do lol :-), you've obviously got great taste Carole ;-)
